Multicasting routing in multivendor environment/comware 5940

[mohanvnegi]

How does multicasting routing protocol PIM SM/DM works and interoperate,

A customer has an existing DC setup on cisco nexus 9k's along with multicast routing protocol PIM SM, can anyone share their inputs on interoperability with comware 5940? any integrations issues which one should be aware of? any document too will help.....Thanks

Hello @mohanvnegi !

While I do not have any document that specifically depicts 5940-N9K PIM SM interoperability, a good starting point could be:

IP Multicast Configuration Guide - https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docLocale=en_US&docId=a00077569en_us

IP Multicast Command Reference Guide - https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docLocale=en_US&docId=a00077602en_us

Since PIM SM and DM are standard protocols, I do not expect any interoperability issues if you don't use any proprietary extensions by Cisco (if such exist at all). Just use that guides to map 5940's feature set to the N9K's and use only features that exist on both platforms.

Hope this helps!
